The whole reason I even bought this game to begin with, was because of SmarterEveryDay; and due to that? I gave a lot of leeway on the actual product, because they were very transparent saying it was a passion project. Now, after a year; and a little over an hour of gameplay? And seeing DLC for sale, on a game that is so barebones; I personally don't even consider it a game? I lost hope for this project.
I understand the dev may need funding to continue the project, but it was sold to me as a passion project. You don't "scalp" your buyer base, in order to continue a passion project. It just seems counter intuitive.

This game has so much joy and whimsy in it. You can make your own aquariums, have whatever variety of fish that you want in your tanks, customize your thanks however you want and make them whatever size you want them to be, and new stuff gets added quite often! I can sit here for hours on end making new tanks and watching my silly little fishes. It's an amazing game, and continues to be improved! Would recommend :3

Amazing aquarium simulator mechanics, stimulates a lot of the process correctly, making an aquascape is very fun and engaging, the game looks gorgeous, and the fish behaviors are extremely interesting to watch and screw around with.
The build mode can be a bit buggy sometimes, but otherwise is wonderful, I cannot lie though, the focusing can be a bit janky with how it will blur the thing you are trying to look at sometimes, but when it works, it is extremely pretty.
The decor is wonderful, the rocks and driftwood are amazingly modeled, and the shaped they have are wonderful for building scapes, managing tanks is great, but i feel as if the gravel vacuum mechanic is very bare-bones, i felt like i never had to vacuum the gravel, and the build up of waste on hardscape was very awkward because of how fast it was.
Plants are very nicely done, a lot of them are very accurate to real life, and they look amazing, but i have small issues. First, all of the moss, quite honestly, looks bad, they look like textures from Pikmin 1 to me, and the are MISERABLE to put on hardscape. my second issue, is the trimming system, i hate it, it is very clunky, and trying to clip a plant without it growing like 30 more in the same spot is frustrating, clipping singular leaves for bigger plants however, is very easy and intuitive, if i had any giant requests for fixes, it would be trimming.
The shop system, while good, is a bit weird, it is hard to tell if you have seen all the fish already, or if you just never got them in your shop layout, that is one thing i would like, a semi fish list for the shops of what can spawn in them, the planned aqua dex is a absolutely NEEDED update, otherwise, going to shops looking for a specific fish or plant is fun!
The substrate system, simply put, is perfect, worked wonders, 10/10 for that.
FIsh behavior is SOOOO good, the AI is a work of fucking art, feeding fish is so engaging, and the fish look FUCKING gorgeous.
Overall? Wonderfully passionate game, with great graphics, mechanics, and the best fish system in video game history, in my opinion, easily worth the 18 USD i spent, i hope the devs continue doing DLC's and free update packs!

This game is a fun sandbox for creativity, and an especially helpful tool to create a vision for real life tanks. Or on the opposite end, you can create impossible structures for your fish in the game.

This game is incredibly fun and addicting if you like having a little aquarium screensaver but still want engaging gameplay. The fish having personalities are absolutely one of my favourite things alongside the fact you have to manage the fish's stress, tank water and gas levels and the overall fish's health. I hear there's a breeding update in the near future so I'm totally looking forward to that! Aquascaping is like the number one most interesting and most worked on feature to me in this game so far and I'm absolutely stunned with what you can create here. I also find that despite not knowing a thing about managing an aquarium, this game definitely is inspiring me to learn even more about it and get into it in real life in the future.
Loving this game and excited for more to come!

As someone who has had no prior knowledge about fish and how to care for them realistically- this game covers it amazingly! It was very easy to understand the controls, how to play and most importantly, how to care for little fishie friends.
I love customising different tanks for fish, caring for them etc. And the whole aesthetic of this game really tops it off, the music and the style is clean and pleasing to look at, maybe one of my favourite designs for ui :O
I would recommend this game for those who love fishies, caring for creatures, building aquascapes and just general simulation games!

being able to just take whatever you want from the shops and stick em in your pocket is really funny. imagine going to a fish store and reaching in with your bare hands to take whole plants. that pot? mine now
the elites don’t want you to know this but the fish in the tanks are free you can take them home I have 458 fish
